Imagine how much more the GOP could win if they...GASP....tried to do right by people! Like push for a single payer healthcare system and realize that billionaires already have billions of dollars. They're going to be fine GOP, just because they can't afford a 25th mansion due to taxes, it's going to be ok.

The problem with this is that they already think they are helping people.
 
I don't get it.

Why are republicans having so much trouble coming up with an Obamacare replacement?

I thought they all wanted that shit and they had no real replacement plan all of that talk was bullshit?


Don't they already have a majority? Why do they keep wasting time with shit bills they don't agree on?

This just proves how weak of a leader Trump is, you can't even get your own party fully on board.
 
There is no replacement they could propose. Obamacare is basically the base line "free market" standard GOP response to healthcare.

Actual improvements to healthcare would require them to do things they will not do.

Because instead of working to find a replacement over the last 7 years, they kept kicking the can with meaningless repeal votes thinking they'll never have control again until after it blew up.

Now they let the crazies take over the party again, and it is making the moderates nervous.

They want to get rid of it because its Obama's baby.

The problem is that any alternative that is obviously better is also "socialist as fuck". So if the Republicans wanted to repeal and replace, they'd have to pick something that is obviously worse than the "failing" Obamacare.

Trump doesn't help things but the Republicans would probably struggle to put forward something coherent because, like former speaker Boehner noted, the Freedom Caucus and Moderate Republicans will never agree on healthcare because there is no compromise that exists that satisfies both.

Basically, its what happens when the opposition party forgets that opposition is not governing.
